Got Questions:
What is travel soccer?
Travel soccer is a program organized by age and gender. It provides a competitive training and playing environment for those players (and their families) who have the required athletic ability, soccer skills and commitment to the game.
How does travel soccer differ from recreational soccer?
Hawkrock travel soccer teams are competitive. Therefore, making the roster and staying on the roster, must be earned based on the team member's play & sportsmanship. In recreational soccer all players are placed on a team roster regardless of playing ability. Recreation soccer also has unique requirements to encourage participation by all players such as all players must play half the game. While Hawkrock's intent is to give everyone the opportunity to grow and play, 50% playtime is not guaranteed. It is based on performance, effort, and each teams needs according to the coaches discretion.
How old must my child be to play travel soccer?
